"Ms. Aderhold kept walking, but all day long, shoppers and tourists alike stop at the bubble-figured 12-foot-tall Adam by the Colombian artist Fernando Botero that greets visitors and provides perhaps the most memorable Manhattan meeting spot since the clock in the Biltmore Hotel."

There was a cartoon years ago of an annoyed woman approaching another woman who was standing in front of a nude male sculpture. "I told you to meet me under the BIG CLOCK."

How come I've never seen this when I've visited NY?? *Ahem* Not that I would be inclined to handle the golden penis but as an art lover, I would have at least admired it. (ok..and photographed it but that's IT).

Every time I visit the Ringling Museum I take a photo of David's butt. I appreciate art like that.

"People touch and pose with Adam’s penis for many reasons. Because it’s unusual. Because it’s funny. Because it’s just the right combination of naughty and not-too-naughty. Because it’s not in a museum but in a shopping center, where the goods are meant to be handled."

In smaller European towns, the mideval, midaev, old curches and religious statuary are not so spiffed up. Many of the faithful rub the feet for good luck -- and the boobies. Crusty, patina-ed old statuary with glowing boobies. The idea has inspired some sculptures of mine.

I can't be the only guy of the male persuasion to think that there's a golden marketing opportunity here. What with the pent-up demand we've seen lately, this thing could shoot through the roof. There's probably a rub, though, but I'm still not getting it ...

I never thought my life could be anything but catastrophe
But suddenly I begin to see a bit of good luck for me
Cause I've got a golden wee-wee
I've got a golden twinkle in my eye
I never had a chance to shine never a happy song to sing,
But suddenly half the world is mine what an amazing thing
Cause I've got a golden wee-wee.
It's mine Lady!
I've got a golden wang up in the sky.
And with the golden wang it's a golden day.

In other distractions news, the trial of our artless todger former IL wigstand Goobernor Eff-in' GoldenRod Blagojevich has been postponed until next year. No doubt the public outpouring of feeling over the delayed satisfaction will be touching.
